Description: 2015 // The Last Year of Ryohji Kaji is a much sought after photo book that was published by Kadokawa Shoten in 1997.  The book serves as a bilingual collection of Ryohji Kaji's notes taken during his observations of Nerv.  It is mostly poetry, and does not offer much in the way of new insights into the series, however it is a very nice collector's item.  The photos are for the most part about the world of Evangelion, and they are accompanied by digitially edited images of sculptures and models placed into photos to create life-like depictions of the world of Evangelion.  2015 is a must have for any serious Eva fan, especially as it is bilingual, unlike most Eva books, it can be appreciated by English speaking audiences.
